Acer palmatum ‘Orion’

 

Another great plant from Dick Wolff of Red Maple Nursery in Pennsylvania,  The very small deeply divided foliage appears bright cherry red in early spring. As the leaves age they become maroon, copper and olive green and much larger. This little tree always seems to have new growth at the tips with little bursts of red sitting at the branch ends  creating an explosion of color like a miniature fireworks display in the garden. Fall color is generally a soft orange.
